@@florin-f. seems like Toroidal Bend made the difference. I used Warp Tool back then, probably with Bend. And i didn't knew how to use the Warp - Stretch feature. I couldn't get the correct elliptic shape :))
@@nls3081 well... you must pay attention to details. You can bend things in Creo either with Toroidal Bend or with Warp Tool. Or you can use both in a combination like I did in this example. Regarding the Warp tool be extra careful at the control options you have. As you can see there are 7 different types of warping each with its own settings. But one common thing Creo puts automatically for all whenever you use the Warp Tool is the "Marquee" box around to body you intend to warp. In the "Stretch" option for instance you can stretch a body by modifying the scale value (which by default is = 1). In this video, the idea is to stretch it downwards, therefore reducing the scale at for example 0.7. Then if the result is not satisfiyng, then go to "Marquee" tab and adjust the "Start" and "End" values. You can make the part look as much as eliptical you wish. You can do this either adjusting manually by click & drag the Marquee box over the area you want to modify or you can control it more precisely by entering exact values. In the video at minute "5.47 I use for the "start" the value of -100 and for the end +200. But you can play with any value that's looks convenient for you. Also you have the option to adjust the Marquee size which is just at the bottom of the Marquee setting tab, just click on the little black arrow on the right and you'll see all posible options. For this exercise I propose to keep it "Proportional". But of course you can try the others too. ;-)
Well.. at the last stage of modeling this part, yes it takes a bit until all patterns are created, because the generated geomety is quite complex. You need to wait 1 or 2 minutes until the full update is done, Could take even longer than 2 minutes depending of the performance of your graphic card and the CAD software version you use. In my case I designed this part in 18 minutes exaclty as shown in this video. With an up-to date computer hardware and sofware configuration I am sure you can do it in less than 15 minutes ;-)
Nice design 😊
COOL!!!!!
That was really fast! Lot of thanks !!!
😉🍻 you're welcome.

It can be seen that at the final stage of modeling, the model was updated for a very long time.
